So this one was the talk of 2010. One of the top 10 according to the NewYork Times.  I liked how the book scared me. So much so that I had to keep reading and finished it in a weekend.  However I will say that it's not the type of book I enjoy and I wouldn't rush out to get her next one.  The real benefit was I sounded semi "with it" at the Xmas parties because of its popularity.  Members comments ;

"I loved it. The narrative as a 5 year old child was so well done. Incredible!"
"I didn't really get much out of this book.  It felt more like a screenplay or movie script."
"What is real and what is not ? There were a lot of concepts here that I found interesting."

Overall Rating **** (4 stars out of 5)
